EFS713 Electric Fence Slinger PoisonProps.com

The Poison Props EFS713 Electric Fence Slinger is a fully pneumatic, plug-and-play animatronic designed for professional haunted attractions and dark rides. A ghoul character hides out of sight, then swings out 90 degrees, raises its arms into an electric fence, and shakes violently while sparks fly and the fence rattles before dropping — delivering a high-impact startle scare that guests never see coming. The complete package includes the character, fence rig, high-voltage sign, pneumatics, a pre-programmed controller, motion sensor, and strobe light, plus an optional audio add-on. It requires a standard AC power supply and 100 PSI compressed air, and ships freight in a footprint of roughly 4 by 6 feet.
